#i mean i also hate painting with watercolors on the rough textured watercolor papers too

[dksartz]

Also I haven't painted on canvas in ages and I dislike it. I vastly prefer painting on a smooth surface like panel.

#i mean i also hate painting with watercolors on the rough textured watercolor papers too #its much harder to get the paint to do what i want - especially on the smaller scale #obviously i need to use a medium to mix with the paint to make them more workable but i havent found a good one yet for acrylics #and on panel i rarely need to #i bought a lot of heavy body acrylics from liquitex but honestly genuinely i prefer their soft body acrylics #i think golden brsnd even heavy body paints are probably better than liquitex's but the issue ive had is i cant fucking open the lids if i #dont keept everything super clean before putting the lid back on. and I'm a messy artist ok. but my hands are sensitive and those hexagonal #or whatever shape they are. theyre difficult and painful and liquitex are easy to open so rhey win. #but i definitely prefer a more fluid paint i dont need dimensional texture in my painting. #so now i have to slowly....buy more paint...
